Hey Tim, thanks for explaining!
Your discription reminds me a lot of Jack London´s "Call Of The Wild". What a story! ( Eventhough it´s not about a husky per se.)
You mention Tasha´s silence. That´s what I thought to notice about huskies too. They are so silent. I guess the original environment of huskies over tenthousands of years has been very silent too. Just a few orders from the sledge driver maybe, the wind and always attention to the landscape.
Besides, I think the Inuits treated huskies like raw objects, no pleasant life most of the times ...
Oh, and another little point. It´s being said that frozen mammoths weren´t all that rare out there. The Inuits used their tusks just like those of lion seal and they used the mammoths meat as depots to feed their huskies. Come to think of it, that meat was still to be eaten after tenth of thousands of years.
I have seen a couple of times how dogs tear cats into pieces and the thought turnes me off quite some.
Do you think Tasha would still be hunting if you had her grown up with other animals like rabbits or cats?
